3. SELECTION OF WINNERS: Once the announcement is made during the 3rd quarter of every basketball game that airs on WGN-TV, the announcement will serve as the ‘call to enter.’ Text and online entries are time stamped in order of entry.

Winner will be notified by mail and/or telephone within two weeks of winning the prize. In the event a winner does not reply within one week or in the event that a winner is not eligible, the next entrant will be selected and deemed the winner.

Cannot have won a prize from WGN-TV within six months of entering. Odds of winning are based on the order in which entries are received.
